Webinar

Presented by the Employers Association of the Northeast

 

This educational session explores how employee debt and financial stress show up at work and what actually helps. Participants will gain insight into how:

  • financial stress impacts absenteeism, presenteeism, burnout, and turnover;
  • what HR teams are seeing across industries and why traditional benefits often fall short;
  • how nonprofit credit counseling and Debt Management Plans work in practice;
  • and why certain for-profit debt settlement and credit repair programs can create risk and unintended harm for employees.

 

The discussion will also highlight practical, compliant ways HR can support employee financial wellness without becoming financial advisors. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of financial stress as a workplace issue, better language for addressing financial wellness responsibly, and increased confidence in evaluating support options that protect both employees and the organization. This is an educational, peer-focused conversation with no sales pitch, designed for HR Managers, Benefits and Total Rewards Leaders, People & Culture Professionals, and Business Owners who want to make informed, responsible decisions around employee well-being.

Networking event/social meet …

Presented by the Nonprofit Broad

 

Nonprofit Connections RI is a monthly meet up for nonprofits and fans that takes place around the Ocean State. It is a free event to connect and collaborate!

The purpose of putting this together is to help build a stronger community of shared support and resources one relationship at a time. Because, we do more, together. 

It is important to note that this is not a typical networking event. It isn't about collecting business cards or pitching services. It is about building relationships and community starting with a conversation. It is about bringing nonprofit folks and business owners together to connect with one another. It might lead to finding your next board member or a new client, but right now it is sort of the 'meet cute' moment as they say in showbiz.

Our gatherings resumed on September 17, 2025 and take place the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6 pm to 8 pm:
